Seeing Stars

The rain coated asphalt

Black and sparkling

I fell to the rock bottom

We use for parking.

Suddenly I'm

Hyperventilating

No thoughts of vindicating

Nothing was indicating

That he would do this prior

Didn't seem like when he called me a Whore 

Or a Bitch, or a Slut,

That it was dire. 

just words. 

Acidic and critic-

al. 

Spoken by a manchild who was cynic-

al. 

Apparently I screamed,

Bloodcurdling. 

I bet he stifled that to a harsh

Gurgling. 

When he clasped his hands around my throat,

.......

nothing. 

I remember nothing. 

Except what happened prior.

His enormous voice

Echoing 

This time dire.

And the rain coated asphalt black and sparkling

Swiftly greeting my face. 

It left a marking

One at first that was acrimonious

Over time just a warning.

A reminder,

To stay away from the felonious.

It's a day I'll never forget,

But it's content mostly forgotten.

One i'll never regret

Something that can't be taught in

school.
